[opensuse] 15.1 LXQt - what camera app/picture viewer
PhotoQT opens to black screen with a very generic looking panel icon, and no discernable way to open any images or camera. LXImage seems too simple, no apparent way to get pix from a Camera. YaST2 doesn't make it too easy to find a Camera app, at least, not a non-GTK-based one. KDE's Digikam requires KF5Contacts, which seems like an address book thingie I shouldn't need to have cluttering this simple installation.

ShowFoto, the photo viewing/editing element of Digikam without all the database bloat would be a better place to start than the latter. Otherwise, Gwenview, but not sure how much of KDE Frameworks the latest version of that pulls in. Pretty sure there were once two or three small Qt-based image viewers, e.g. Kuickshow (http://kuickshow.sourceforge.net/). That page shows versions looooooooong out of date but I recall it popping up on openDesktop feeds until only recently. The github page shows some more recent work to port it to KDE5.

I run Kuickshow on 42.3, found an rpm somewhere, should be easy to find using google It is the very best quick and simple image viewer, no other one comes even close in speed and simplicity of use.

Kwickshow is a KDE package. you would probably end up pulling in quite a bit of the KDE libraries along with its install. At that point you might as well install Kview or Gwenview. For a lightweight viewer, I was impressed with GPicView 0.2.4 (LXDE) that is Gtk based and you likely already have the libraries installed. Another is Nomacs. Both should be in the standard repos. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You're not mistaken. If they would still be in the KDE collection, they'd be in Tumbleweed and they aren't. These days Gwenview is the default.

Which is *extremely* sad.

It is impossible to run nvidia on my asus laptop. Old story. Many said it's possible, but nobody could hint me how to make it possible. Not on this list, not in the forum, not in bugs. On my desktop 42.3 it works (no intel/nvidia mix, only nvidia), but I read a lot that makes me fear it wouldn't work after an update to 15x. Anyway, if there is no kuickshow - a program I use every day and for which there is no usable replacement - I cannot upgrade. I simply need it and am not able to compile from source.

You can still build it from source. The last release was just a year ago[0]. You can also create an AppImage out of it and use it forever. OBS can produce AppImages[1].

Thank you for the hint.

Won't suffice. He needs to try the optimus setup with the proprietary driver, for his kind of work. This requires at least a small test partition on the laptop (which I always create), or alternatively, install to an external USB disk. Hopefully USB3, with the caveat that some machines can not boot from USB3 sockets. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

ShowFoto, the photo viewing/editing element of Digikam without all the database bloat would be a better place to start than the latter.
Apparently it includes some bloat, libKF5Contacts5, which libdigikamcore6 requires.

That wasn't one of the stated requirements :) You can add it if you must or just invoke it from the command line.

And gphoto2 for camera access. Ruled out by OP (non-GTK).
The reason I mention gphoto2 is that it is one of the application that handles phone image access/download (very capable too), feh is the swiss-army-knife of image viewers. Small, fast, capable. It is a graphical app, but generally launched from the command line. Traditional Linux interface. Rt-click on the image brings up the menus -- like icewin/blackbox/fluxbox/etc..) xv is similar, but probably has a few more toys. The reason I would sky away from Gwenview, etc.., is they drag a lot of KDE in to support them. (gwenview may be better than the apps starting with K...) I never liked loading a 3M app and having 90M of dependencies piled on. I don't know why non-Gtk should even be an issue. Gtk apps require only the Gtk libraries (not a bunch of Gnome related dependencies). If you have Gimp installed, you already have everything you needed. If not, the entire Gtk+2 lib is a little over 6M installed, 9M for Gtk+3. Trivial size. -- David C.

Open an image how? I normally open the app I want to use first, then I use the app to open the file I want it to act upon, like in DOS in the 1980s when I learned to use a PC.

In 1-2-3, where I spent most of my time, there wasn't much typing involved in getting an existing file opened: 1-open 1-2-3 if not already open 2-/ 3-f 4-o 5-F3 (optional) 6-select In WP, the keystrokes were different, but the process worked the same, app first, then choose file to work with.
